Truck Fire on I-4 South of Disney World Causes Massive Delays, Lanes Reopen After Hours of Closure

A dramatic truck fire on Interstate 4, just south of Walt Disney World, brought traffic to a standstill for hours yesterday, causing significant delays for drivers in the popular tourist corridor. The incident, involving a semi-truck carrying hazardous fertilizer and another vehicle, occurred near mile marker 58, close to the ChampionsGate exit in Osceola County.

The westbound lanes of I-4, which had been completely shut down for hours, finally reopened shortly after 7:30 p.m., providing much-needed relief for stranded motorists. However, the far left inside lane and Exit 58 to ChampionsGate remained closed for ongoing repairs and cleanup efforts. Eastbound lanes had reopened earlier in the afternoon, just after 4 p.m., nearly six hours after the initial crash. During the extensive closure, traffic had been diverted off Exit 62 to World Drive, impacting travel to and from the Disney parks.

Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reported that both drivers involved in the crash remarkably walked away unharmed, a fortunate outcome given the intensity of the fire. Aerial footage from Chopper 2 showed the semi-truck flipped on its side, fully engulfed in flames, as emergency crews worked diligently to extinguish the blaze. The truck’s cargo of fertilizer was identified by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as hazardous material, contributing to the extended period required for cleanup and safety protocols.

According to FHP, the incident began when a 29-year-old male from New Jersey, driving a Ford Focus, was traveling in the center-outside westbound lane near mile marker 58, alongside the semi-truck. Investigators are still working to determine which vehicle veered from its lane of travel. The preliminary report indicates that the left side of the Ford Focus struck the right side of the semi-truck. This impact caused the 59-year-old semi-truck driver from Polk City to lose control, leading the truck to run off the roadway onto the median, where it then became fully engulfed in flames.

The extensive cleanup operation required lanes to be closed for an extended period, underscoring the severity of the crash and the hazardous nature of the cargo. The incident served as a stark reminder to drivers in the busy Central Florida region about the potential for unexpected delays on major thoroughfares.

Disney Delivers Summer Cheer to Children’s Hospitals

Disney Hosts Lilo & Stitch Movie Party in Sacramento

To kick off the summer festivities, Disney hosted a Lilo & Stitch movie party for patients and families at Sutter Children’s Center in Sacramento — a region with a significant Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community. The event featured hula dancing, coloring activities, Lilo & Stitch-themed giveaways delivered by Starlight Children’s Foundation, and a surprise visit from Stitch himself. The kids also received a special message from Zach Galifianakis, who plays Jumba, before watching the brand-new film.

“These events can really help them feel like they’re not in the hospital,” said Sara Anderson, pediatric manager of integrated therapies at Sutter Children’s Center. “We all remember going to Disneyland and seeing a character — how special that is. But imagine being a child in the hospital and having a character come to you. That can really lift your spirits.”

Nine-year-old patient Grace lit up when Stitch walked in. “It made me feel like I was in the movie just standing with him saying, ‘Hi, my name is Grace, and this is my friend Stitch,’” she said. And her review of the day? “Amazing, cool, awesome, and ten out of ten.” Her mom, Jessica, added that the event created a “family environment for the hospital. And with her having to stay here, it’s a blessing that she gets to be part of this.”

Lilo & Stitch Brings Joy to Children’s Hospitals Around the World

The fun of Lilo & Stitch continued around the world. In Japan, Disney VoluntEARS and professional announcers read aloud to patients in Shizuoka Children’s Hospital through Disney Storytime, Disney Japan’s new storytelling initiative in collaboration with Nippon Television (NTV) Holdings Inc. and Kodansha Ltd. Disney China brought Stitch plush and interactive activities to 50 Disney Fun Houses — Disney-themed play spaces — across China. At Beijing Children’s Hospital, Stitch joined Disney VoluntEARS to interact with the children, following an animated Lilo & Stitch screening at the hospital’s Disney Mobile Theater.

In Indonesia, Disney and Make-A-Wish hosted a Lilo & Stitch screening for 55 children and their families at Harapan Kita Women and Children’s Hospital in Jakarta. Stitch “crashed” the party and visited over 150 children in the pediatric wards. Local influencer Yasmin Napper joined the event, alongside 15 Disney VoluntEARS, to create moments of happiness and comfort.

Starting this week, hundreds of children’s hospitals now have access to watch Lilo & Stitch while it’s still in theaters through Disney Movie Moments. Since 2014, thousands of seriously ill children have been able to watch new movies while in the hospital through Disney Movie Moments.

Children’s hospitals will also receive a Lilo & Stitch edition of Disney’s Movie Party in a Box, which contains a curated assortment of complimentary themed products and activities. Both Disney Movie Moments and Movie Party in a Box offer kids and their families a sense of comfort and community when they may not be able to visit movie theaters.

Disney Magic Continues in the Months Ahead

Highly anticipated films including Disney and Pixar’s Elio, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Disney’s Freakier Friday will also debut on Disney Movie Moments globally from June through August.

The magic will extend beyond the screen for kids in hospitals this summer, as teams from around the world plan deliveries of toys and books, and events with visits from Disney characters, artists, and Disney VoluntEARS. Fans from across Southern California will participate in CHOC Walk in the Park at Disneyland Resort, and new sets of Disney-themed Starlight Hospital Gowns and Pants will also be made available to hundreds of children’s hospitals across the country.

These activations are part of Disney’s ongoing support for seriously ill children, following a recently fulfilled $100 million global commitment to help reimagine the patient experience in children’s hospitals and pediatric places of care. Disney is continuing to show up for kids and families in ways that only Disney can, bringing our characters, stories, and experiences to kids in children’s hospitals, especially this season, as many young patients might otherwise miss out on popular summer activities.

There are so many colors to choose from and options for M&Ms! Here’s how to design your very own, specialized M&Ms.

You can truly make your M&Ms unique! Choose from photos, icons, or custom text to adorn your candies. Each bag of treats can feature up to four distinct M&M designs. If you opt for text, you’ll have two lines to write a sweet, personalized message right on your M&Ms!

If you choose the photo option, you can easily upload a picture directly from your phone by scanning the QR code displayed on the screen. For the best quality, make sure your chosen photo has a simple background, good lighting, and features only one or two faces.

You’ll also find an extensive collection of icons to personalize your M&Ms. The selection is huge, featuring everything from Disney Parks and Disney Princesses to Mickey and Friends, sports teams, and much more!

Once your personalized M&Ms are perfect, the fun continues as you choose how to package your sweet creations! You’ll find a variety of options to take your treats home in, including different sized bags, cups, tubes, gift boxes, and even a commemorative wine bottle. Prices for these custom packages range from $19.98 to $44.98.

colors

After selecting your preferred container, you’ll dive into a vibrant world of color, choosing from over 25 M&M shades to create your perfect mix! Once you’ve finished your design at the kiosk, you’ll receive a card with your personalization details. A Cast Member will then bring your unique M&Ms to life. While the design process itself took a quick five minutes, be aware that the wait for your M&Ms might be longer, especially during busy times like the grand opening, which saw waits of about an hour.

It’s also important to remember that only one of your M&M designs can feature a photo, so make sure to follow the image guidelines carefully when making your selection.
